#2how is a 300W cpu cooled in a server environment? just high rpms and good environmentals? ive stayed on intel with my workstation so i can keep a virtually passive and quiet heatsink without having to go water

Yeah, noise is relatively unimportant so they tend to use a ton of extremely high RPM fans and big hunks of copper, from what I've seen.

Servers are in 4U rack mounted enclosures with (relatively) low height heatsinks and huge amounts of airflow. Intake in front, exhaust in rear. Most clients will have beefy air conditioning to keep the ambient intake temp and humidity low.

Limitations due to die size and power consumption since Intel Xeon is still on the ye olde 14nm++ process.
Also since Xeon dies are monolithic, unlike AMDs chiplet design, means that increasing the size of certain components on the die, like cache for example, increases the risk of defects wich reduces the yields, making them unprofitable.

#8There must be a typo on the 74F3 price. US$2900 for it is a steal.

Performance per watt is better on amd right now, at least last I heard.

And the DC staff wears hearing protection when they're working among the racks.
